The English playwright, actor, singer and songwriter Noël Coward - Half-Caste Woman Lyrics
Laugh a bit, drink a bit, love a bit more You can supply our need Chaff a bit, think a bit, what's it all for? That's your Eurasian creed
Sailors with sentimental hearts Who love and sail away When the dawn is gray Look at you and say
(Chorus) Half-caste woman, living a life apart Where did your story begin? Half-caste woman, have you a secret heart Waiting for someone to win?
Were you born of some queer magic In your shimmering gown? Is there something strange and tragic Deep, deep down?
Half-caste woman, what are your slanting eyes Waiting and hoping to see? Scanning the far horizon Wondering what the end will be
(Bridge) Down along the river Thе sky is a quiver For dawn is beginning to break
Hеar the sirens wailing Some big ship is sailing And leaving your dreams in its wake
Why should you remember the things that are past Moments so softly gone? Why worry for the Lord knows Life goes on
Go to bed in daylight Try to sleep in vain Get up in the evening Work begins again Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief Questioning the same refrain
(Chorus) Half-caste woman, living a life apart Where did your story begin? Half-caste woman, have you a secret heart Waiting for someone to win?
Were you born of some queer magic In your shimmering gown? Is there something strange and tragic Deep, deep down?
Half-caste woman, what are your slanting eyes Waiting and hoping to see? Scanning the far horizon Wondering what the end will be
